Dear All,

 

we invite you to the workshop

 

Stochastic Models in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

 

that will be held in Venice, 5-7 April 2018, at the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti.

 

Aim of the workshop is to bring together scientists with different background - people from biology, physics and mathematics - interested in stochastic models in ecology and evolutionary biology, to discuss issues and exchange methods and ideas. A partial list of topics includes: stochastic population dynamics, branching processes, robustness and adaptability of ecosystems, resilience and criticality of ecological systems, models and prediction of biodiversity, molecular evolution, and microbial community dynamics.

 

Invited Speakers (in alphabetical order): J.-F. Arnoldi, E. Baake, J. Dalmau, J. Friedman, A. Lambert, M. Loreau,  P. Metha, A. Sanchez, B. Trubenova, I. Mizrahi* (*tbc)
